Tesla is the first US car manufacturer to mass-produce vehicles without going into bankruptcy in the past 100 years (and now has a larger market cap than the next six largest automakers combined).

Tesla is by far the most advanced in releasing an FSD package, announcing in early 2020 that it had completed over 5 billion kilometers of testing under autopilot, against just 2 million miles over the past two years by its nearest competitor Waymo (backed by Google).
